What special species can be found in deep sea fishing Cancun 2022

 Anglers from all over the world have been drawn to the waters surrounding Cancun for years to hunt their favorite game fish, notably the waters of Isla Mujeres, which have long been a favorite for capturing Billfish, Dorado, Wahoo, and sharks, to name a few.

Sailfish begin to appear in mid-December and can be caught through August, blue and white marlin from March to August, and the highly coveted dorado from March to July. Other species, including tuna, snapper, grouper, and barracudas, can be caught throughout the year. Let's take a look at the top six species discovered when deep sea fishing Cancun.

The KingFish:

This medium-sized fish, which weighs between 5 and 30 pounds, can be found at depths ranging from 40 to 150 feet. It's a distant relative of the Wahoo and is famous for its blistering runs, so it's no surprise that anglers adore it. Winter is the best time to target these bullets while deep sea fishing in Cancun.

The Barracuda:

The Barracuda looks like a Pike, with sharp-edged fang-like teeth of varied sizes that give them a terrible aspect. Adult Barracudas like alone, whereas juveniles prefer to congregate in groups. They can reach lengths of over 6 feet and travel at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. Cudas can be caught while trolling or casting at the back of a boat, and they will eat practically any type of fish as well as rip chunks of meat from larger prey.

Blue Marlin:

From March to August, the largest billfish may be caught during deep sea fishing Cancun, with female species reaching in at over 1200 pounds. Their food consists of mackerel, tuna, and squid. When trolling for these monsters, our Captains favor bonito and blackfin tuna as bait.

White Marlin:

These are the tiniest Marlin in the waters of Cancun and Isla Mujeres, measuring only at 45 to 65 pounds on average. White marlin prefers deep blue water with depths of 100 feet or more and is often caught trolling with Ballyhoo and lures.

The Sailfish:

The Atlantic Sailfish that we are looking for in the Cancun area are known for their incredible jumps. It is also one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. Their dorsal fin or sail is generally down when swimming, but when aroused or frightened, they hoist their sail, making them appear larger. This is the most common Billfish seen near Cancun. They are usually taken while trolling with ballyhoo or sardines, or on fly rods.

Bonito:

Part of the Tuna family, but smaller, with weights ranging from one to twenty-five pounds, and one of the most common fish to catch while deep sea fishing Cancun, but make no mistake, these fish put up a terrific fight and are usually caught while trolling with feather rigs and Ballyhoo. Because they are schooling fish, you will generally receive several hook-ups at once.
